So Trump wants to fine Mexico 100 thousand dollars for each illegal they send here.
You know,I would have been okay if he said we will remove ties with Mexico and not give them any aid.
I would be okay if he said we will no longer be allies and will inflict sanctions like we have done with Cuba for all these years.
But instead he will have Americans believe that Presidents handle our finances and that somehow he can enforce this.
How about we occupy Mexico and put up embassies and fight the Cartel instead of the Taliban half way around the world?
How about we make it a mandatory jail time and a felony for hiring an illegal?

And the latest news recently is that he's actually on top right now.
While I do agree with him on retaliating with Mexico because they are so corrupt,he's only got 10% approval with me so far.
Thoughts?

All american presidents are deluded dumb fucks who sit around boasting about banging their imaginary bohemian supermodel girlfriends with reggae-style dreadlock pubic hair, while in reality the world watches in awe wondering what the hell they have against mop heads.

Hmmm. How in the world did you divine "everyone" from a hack Huffington piece sourced solely upon a "Public Policy Polling survey" conducted by "The Democratic leaning polling firm"? No source bias there and even the link in the piece purporting to be to the source survey is dead.

Fret not, o' grasshoppa. I found the survey right here. Let's check it out:

It consists of 37 pages. Of those, the first 34 pages are mostly about 721 Louisiana voters' feelings on hot topics such as Duck Dynasty, Jesus and Mother Theresa, to name a few. Solid, heady topics all, but so far, nothing about Katrina.

Finally, we find the meaty stuff, starting on page 35. Note the notation at the bottom left corner of each of those three pages, which says: "Survey of 274 Republican primary voters".

We also discover this one lone Katrina question, followed by shocking and highly informative survey results:

"Q2 Who do you think was more responsible for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina: George W. Bush or Barack Obama?

Grasshoppa? The one thing that jumps out immediately to anyone with even half a brain is that at least 28% of those "274 Republican primary voters" from Louisiana were obviously of Filipino descent.

Amen.

So youre saying there is no party hackery in the Republican Party that would blame anyone but themselves?

I live on another continent, and Ive heard them do as much. Ive heard the clownpockets state the oddest shit just because Americans let them skate on it. LFs ineptitude at proving that does nothing to alter it.

Your politicians do not need to do well, they merely need to be entertaining, or frustrating. Otherwise the American public gets bored.

See this is all a game man.
Who in their right mind would tell people that McCain is not a war hero because he was a prisoner?
Now that Trump is way ahead of the GOP poll he needed to do this so he can scale back a little.
At the end of the day I think he's getting paid to do this so the GOP looks better when they attack him.

Good godamighty, grasshoppa. Choose? It's akin to choosing whether to be an idiot, pea-brain, or moron. After the first half dozen or so, I stopped looking at your "sources". Why? Every single report was sourced to the same little bitty survey of 247 unidentified so-called Louisiana Republicans.

Frankly, I do not know if Trump has a grasshoppa's chance in hell of winning. I do believe everything he says and does is shrewdly calculated.

Trump is no stranger to risk. I expect he is more aware than anyone else of the risks his moves and words carry. By the same token, I expect he weighs the conceivable risks against the potential rewards. He then makes a decision, executes, and repeats the cycle.

Like him or not, this man is unafraid of making hard decisions and unafraid of speaking his mind. True, saying things like McCain is no war hero would cost him; perhaps even ruin his chances of being elected. He knew that before he ever opened his mouth.

My message to the candidates of both parties is: Underestimate Trump at your own folly. Trump is no Ross Perot.
